new snus'er

[RedMacGregor]

breaking myself in with a can of general dry mint portions.. not shabby, fairly enjoyable... have a tin of camel mellow & camel frost in teh fridge waiting..

wife things it's disgusting, but she's got the "you're dipping now?" prejudice going on... i laid a big sloppy kiss on her after spitting out a portion and she while she could taste something it wasn't horrible... she doesn't even realize i have one going unless she sees me put it in or spit it out...

trying to decide if i wanna try los or not.. portions are certainly convenient..

anywho, just introducing myself, hello!

hello hello and welcome!!!!!! los is awesome you should try it

[MojoQuestor]

Hello and welcome from me as well. Agree on the los, might as well give it a swing. Consider trying a non-sweet snus or two as well, just to see what it's all about.

Anywho, enjoy and have fun!

Welcome RedMacGregor

Since your wife has a problem with the dip thing, give the lös a go. You can always use it as a bargaining chip. Then the portions won't bother her as much. :wink:

Aw sweet I'm not the new guy anymore! Howdy bro. Still considering los myself. Just haven't decided. In the same boat as well. Fiancee can't stand it. Didn't mind me smoking cigars, but this horrifies her. :/

Anyways, welcome bro.

Everyone should give lös a try, if for no other reason than connect with snus' roots. Whether you stick with it or not is personal preference, but it should at least be tried.

if i do the lös, i'll have to go the whole 9 yards and get an icetool, it's just the way i roll....

Well, that's your call. I took the stance that I wanted to do it in the most traditional method possible, so I handbaked my first tin of Ettan. I ended up getting an IceTool for a couple brands that were virtually unbakable, and started using it for everything. It's certainly nice, but a big expense if you aren't sure you'd like using lös.

Welcome to the forum! I don't have a problem with a "wife" disapproving of my snusage...I am the wife!!! Now, my husband on the other hand doesn't love that I use snus but he doesn't mind because I have made him this way! Meaning, any bit of scientific evidence I ran into in support of snus was passed along to him during normal conversations. I did the same with nasal snuff and now he will try a pinch or portion from time to time.

Welcome to Snuson RedMacGregor

Go for the Icetool regardless. I am famous here for my love of portions. Have tried to like los three times, still not even close. But I love my Icetool, will do los at least once a year just so I have a chance to use it. The folks that created Snuson make the Icetool. So for that reason alone,it was well worth it to me.

I've tried los snus once with a pristool, and cope once with my fingers. It's not my thing. Too messy, on my fingers, on my teeth, on the can of los, on the surface beneath the can. Portions are great. Its weird. The only time I remember that snus comes los is when I pop into the forums here.

Welcome!

Do try los - as said lxskllr - you hafta try it regardless of whether you stick with it.

if i do the lös, i'll have to go the whole 9 yards and get an icetool, it's just the way i roll....

Or go with the poorman's icetool - syringe, cut the needle of and you're good to go. Then decide if you want to put out the $30-$40 for the tool.

Welcome to Snuson. I agree, you should try the los. It hasn't replaced my portion use, but I handbake at least one pris a day. It's a nice change.

Welcome to the forum! Happy snussing.

I am in the same boat. My hubby is a smoker of 20+years and gives me hell. I have told him all the facts and he has laid off a bit. I had him try one and he wasn't impressed. He is using Chantix to stop smoking but it isn't working. I think he should give snusing a try!
